To solidly help trees, trunk injection techniques are used to increase the formation of phytoalexins with injections of potassium phosphites.

TRUNK INJECTION

Rechargeable Arbocap® capsules are injected inside of the wood to stimulate the physiological state of the trees, increasing the production of phytoalexins and providing improved defense against pathogens.
The injected products move through the raw sap: they reach all of the foliage and enter into the vital circulation of the tree – from the roots to the leaves (in the xylem) and from the leaves to the roots (in the phloem).

Potassium phosphite, injected into the trees with Arbocap® capsules in the proper dilution, is divided into the potassium component (fertilizing action) and the phosphite fraction (which then transforms into phosphorous acid inside the tree).
The phosphorous acid induces the production of phytoalexins (which improve the tree’s capacity to defend against pathogenic agents) and stimulates the tree’s vegetative capacity (inducing better flowering and yield).

In addition to the benefits described above, using Arbocap® on ornamental trees provides direct defense from insects and pathogenic fungi through the use of suitable phytochemicals for these specific purposes
Insecticides used with Arbocap® in trunk injections maintain their defense capacity throughout the entire annual vegetative cycle. In evergreen trees these actions are prolonged for several years.
